Scotland Island Road Closure - Update

Council will return next Thursday, weather permitting, to continue maintenance works on Richard Road, between Cargo and Bell.  Half the road is currently closed off due to unstable surface.

THIS SECTION OF ROAD WILL BE CLOSED THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16 TO CARRY OUT THIS WORK.

Please be supportive of Council's road crew as they are doing their best to complete these maintenance works.  It is not a permanent solution and any queries or frustrations you may have about our roads and drainage should be directed to Senior Council staff.  The crew would appreciate some positive feedback for the work they are carrying out under the current maintenance budget.

Scotland Island Players
A `Shop' on the Island ?
 
Scotland Island Players are meeting on Friday 24th February, 8 pm, at Liz Brand`s, 10 Florence Terrace to read a play, and maybe send it on it's way to production later in the year.
 
The story involves a group of women, who decide to re-furbish a derelict house on the Island, for a commercial enterprise. Some others are not too happy about such, and have other plans. The women have grown up here, all gone to Pittwater High, had romances, husbands, etc., and now want to do something different with their lives.  The plot tangles, and untangles, mysterious relics appear, and everyone has a lot of fun.
 
If you are interested and would like to be involved, come along. If you need directions, or can join us later in the process, then call Bob, on 0414 994 092, or 9999 4092 in the evenings or weekends, or Kez ( & the answering machine) on 9999 40902
